Professor Davis is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the IEEE.Michael Coplan is Research Professor in the Institute for Physical Sciences and Technology at the University of Maryland. He received the Ph.D. from Yale University and did postdoctoral work at the Faculte des Sciences of the University of Paris in electrochemistry and at the University of Chicago in high-temperature gas kinetics. At the University of Maryland his research interests include electron-atom scattering physics, electron correlation in atoms, and space physics. He has been recognized for his development and teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses in electronics. Professor Copland is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.Sandra Greer is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Chemical Engineering. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and worked for ten years as a Research Chemist at the National Bureau of Standards. Her research involves experimental investigation of critical phenomena and phase transitions in polymers. Other campus activities include the development of a course in Ethics in Science and Engineering. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2003, she won the prestigious Francis P. Garvin - John M. Olin Medal from the American Chemical Society. The award recognizes distinguished service to chemistry by women chemists who are citizens of the United States.
